The Cartier Santos is one of the most historically essential wristwatches ever made. First designed in 1904 for aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont, it was the world’s first purpose-built men’s wristwatch. Over a century later, the Santos continues to embody bold innovation, timeless design, and effortless elegance. With its signature square case, visible screws, and seamless integration of bracelet and case, the Santos remains a standout icon in the Cartier collection.
